Meghan Markle recently visited the non-profit organization Girls. Inc to share about the bullying problem that is strongly affecting the young generation, especially girls. HalfTheStory founder – Larissa May – said this was a meaningful visit for teenage girls who are still confused and bewildered by a series of negative things on social media.
Speaking about the visit, Larissa said: “We did an activity where we discussed a series of possible scenarios. Meghan also talked about how she was one of the most bullied people in the world.”
Following the meeting, Meghan partnered with Oprah Winfrey’s foundation and charity to create a new program called Social Media U, which focuses on combating cyberbullying. The Duchess of Sussex said the educational initiative aims to “equip girls with the essential tools to thrive in the digital age, fostering healthier and more balanced relationships with technology.”
This is not the first time Prince Harry’s wife has spoken out about her experience of being bullied on social media. In August, she confided: “I never want anyone else to feel that way and I don’t want anyone else to plan that. I don’t want anyone else to feel like they can’t be trusted.”
